TRADING STATEMENT
Shareholders are advised that Spur Corporation`s earnings and earnings per
share, and headline earnings and headline earnings per share, for the year ended
30 June 2007 are expected to be between 34% and 44% higher than those for the
year ended 30 June 2006.
Income for the current year has benefited from a tax credit of R16.6 million.
This equates to 28.5% of earnings and headline earnings for the year ended 30
June 2006. The tax credit results from the recognition of a deferred tax asset
in respect of cumulative tax losses and future tax deductions of intangible
assets in the company`s international operations.
Agreement was reached with tax authorities during the current year, which has
provided the necessary certainty required to recognise this deferred tax asset.
The company`s results for the year ended 30 June 2007, on which this trading
statement is based, have not been reviewed and/or reported on by the company`s
auditors. The year end results will be announced on SENS on 6 September 2007.
